9 SimpliciTI™ Network ProtocolThe SimpliciTI™ network protocol is a proprietary, low-power radio-frequency (RF) protocol targetingsimple, small RF networks (<100 nodes). The SimpliciTI network protocol is designed for easyimplementation with minimal microcontroller resource requirements. The protocol runs out of the box onTI’s MSP430 ultra-low-power microcontrollers and multiple RF transceivers.
Small low-power RF networks typically contain battery-operated devices, which require long battery life,low data rate, and low duty cycle, and have a limited number of nodes talking directly to each other. Withthe SimpliciTI network protocol, MCU resource requirements are minimal, resulting in lower system costfor low-power RF networks. More complex mesh networks that need routing typically require 10× theprogram memory and RAM to implement.
Despite the modest resources required, SimpliciTI network protocol supports End Devices in a peer-to-peer network topology, the option to use an Access Point to store and forward messages, and RangeExtenders to extend the range of the network up to four hops. Future releases will add more sophisticatedfeatures such as frequency agility, an ETSI-compliant listen-before-talk discipline, and a software securityroutine for message encryption.
The SimpliciTI network protocol supports a wide range of low-power applications including alarm andsecurity (smoke detectors, glass breakage detectors, carbon monoxide sensors, and light sensors),automated meter reading (gas meters and water meters), home automation (appliances, garage dooropeners, and environmental devices), and active RFID.
The SimpliciTI network protocol is provided as source code under a free license without royalties.
Developers are encouraged to adapt the protocol to their own specific application needs. For informationon compatibility, updates, and the latest version of the SimpliciTI protocol, visit www.ti.com/simpliciti.
The eZ430-RF2500 demonstration application uses the SimpliciTI protocol to demonstrate a temperaturesensor network application that provides a starting point to develop a wireless applications.

Demo – eZ430-RF2500 Sensor Monitor www.ti.com
10 Demo – eZ430-RF2500 Sensor MonitoreZ430-RF2500 is preloaded with a wireless temperature sensor network firmware and may bereprogrammed at any time. This network consists of an Access Point that measures its own temperatureand also wirelessly receives temperature measurements from End Devices. End Devices measure theirtemperature once per second and then enter a low-power mode to reduce battery usage. The AccessPoint transmits all measured data to the PC through the UART backchannel. The included PC SensorMonitor Visualizer provides a demonstration of the eZ430-RF2500 using the SimpliciTI protocol across astar network. In the PC Sensor Monitor Visualizer, the center node is the Access Point and the attachedbubbles are the End Devices. The PC application displays the temperature of both the End Devices andAccess Point. Additionally, the PC application is capable of simulating distance from its access point whenthe End Devices are moved. The number of End Devices can be expanded by adding more target boardsin the star network as seen in Figure 6.
